Online Safety Resources for Families
Our curriculum includes learning opportunities about safe Internet use and good digital citizenship. Through interactive lessons created by Common Sense Media and other resources, our students learn how to keep themselves safe online, manage and monitor their digital footprint, copyright information, media literacy, etc.
There are also many great resources for parents and families to access about Internet safety, parental controls, electronics contracts, etc. We highly encourage families to monitor their child's online/electronics activity regularly and engage in conversations about safe, online activity. Please see the list below for parent resources on these topics.
